I have a disability and need help catching up financially

Hello and thank you for reading my plight.

My name is Mike and I am 53 years old.  I have Parkinson’s Disease, and just this year (in March), the symptoms finally progressed to the point that I was unable to work.  I am on disability now, but it is at 60% of what my salary was, which has made budgeting very tight.  Unfortunately, my wife was laid off her job (also in March) which has led to more financial strain.

What stresses me out the most is we have three children living at home, two of which are under the age of 10.  I don’t want to lose the house because it is the only home they have ever known.  I’m also worried about being able to feed them.  We have been going to food shelves, but don’t have much of a budget for groceries.

I am working on catching up on house payments, but am still $4,100 behind (I missed 3 payments waiting for disability to start, but have been paying a little extra each month since).

There is also $15,000 of debt (medical bills that I had to charge, I’m uninsured, and other debt).  If I could get rid of that, I would free up the $700 in minimum payments each month, and I would have grocery money.  Right now 79% of my income goes to house payments and minimum payments.

I know $19,000 is quite a bit to hope and pray for, but I have keep hope alive.  Anything and everything anyone can do to help would be so greatly appreciated.

Thank you from all my heart to for anyone who can help my family.

Help me give my daughter stabliity and a safe home

My name is Katelyn, I am a single mom to the sweetest most resilient little girl you could ever meet. She is my entire world.

For years, we lived in an abusive relationship that left us with nothing but each other. I found the courage to leave so we could have a peaceful safe life. It was a hard decision but the only way to protect my daughter and show her that she deserves love, respect and stability.

I was forced to file bankruptcy after my name and SSN was used to take out loans that were not ever paid. We were forced to sell our house and are now homeless.

Right now my biggest fear is that we will have to move her out of the school district that she’s been in since first grade. The one place that she has friends, caring teachers and a sense of normalcy throughout this chaos.

Why I’m asking for help:

I do have a full time job, and I work every day to give her a stable life. I’m working 80 hours a week to try to rebuild our lives, but because I was forced to file bankruptcy, I cannot get approved for a rental. I also cannot get a mortgage to give this beautiful child a stable life. I have been saving every penny that I can but without help, I won’t be able to keep her in this area where she feels safe and happy.

How your help will change our lives:

Every donation- no matter how small – will go directly toward a down payment for a modest home in our school district. This isn’t just about four walls, this is about giving my daughter stability in a safe neighborhood and giving her continuity of friendship and adult role models.

If you’ve ever had a moment in your life where you just need someone to believe in you and give you a hand, that’s where I am right now. Your generosity would mean more than words can express.

From my heart

If you can’t donate, I completely understand. Sharing this with someone that might be able to help would be so kind and appreciated beyond belief. Thank you for reading our story, for caring and giving us hope that better days are ahead.

All the love and gratitude.

Single mom in need of rescue from a spiral of debt

Hello to all.

To start off, I’m not homeless, I’m full-time employed and have never been on welfare. I just need some help getting out of debt so I can afford the increased cost of living.  I am a single mother and living paycheck to paycheck. I would love to be able to take my kids out or do extra activities but all my money goes toward bills and credit card debt.

Any amount will help.  I am in total around 60k in debt. I just want to be able to breathe and provide better for my kids.  I work hard for everything I have and I hate asking for help.

Thank you to anyone who is able to assist.  My paypal link is:

Single dad trying to keep the lights on

 

I’m a 39-year-old single father doing everything I can to provide for my child while I’m between jobs. Bills are past due, the fridge is running low, and I’m worried about losing the stability we’ve worked so hard to keep. Any help right now would go directly toward rent, utilities, and basic necessities until I can get back on my feet. Your kindness could be the reason we make it through this difficult time.

Life has a way of testing us in moments when we feel the least prepared. My name is Sinclair, and I’m doing my best to raise my child alone. I’ve always been the type to push through, work hard, and find solutions without asking for help. But this time, despite all my efforts, I’ve reached a point where I can no longer do it alone.

The job I was counting on recently fell through unexpectedly. I had planned my bills and expenses around that income, and without it, I’ve quickly fallen behind. My rent is due, my power bill is already past its due date, and I’m stretching what little I have left to make sure my child has food and basic necessities. Every day, I wake up with a mix of determination and worry, wondering how I’ll keep us afloat until I can secure another source of income.

I’ve been applying for jobs every day, attending interviews when I can, and even looking into side work just to bring in anything possible. But bills don’t wait for opportunities to arrive. My fear is that, without some help, I could lose the little stability we have left. I can handle going without, but my biggest fear is letting my child down or having them experience hardships they don’t deserve.

I’m not asking for luxury or comfort — just enough to cover the essentials while I get back on my feet. Any donation would go directly toward paying overdue bills and ensuring that we have the basics covered for the next few weeks.

From the Bottom of My Heart, Thank You

If you’ve read this far, I want you to know how much that alone means to me. Every contribution is more than just money — it’s a reminder that my child and I are not alone in this fight. Your support will give us hope, stability, and the chance to move toward a brighter tomorrow.

TO COMPLETE MY SON’S THERAPY SESSION. paypal.me/GUwajimgba

My name is Gladys uwajimgba, I am a single mom of two kids (one with special needs). I have a full time job but I live paycheck to paycheck and due to the growing needs of my child with special needs it’s difficult to meet up with my bills.

these made me to use the money given to me by the government for his therapy sessions for essentials ($25,000.00)twenty five thousand dollars. I have already spent sixteen thousand from it, two months ago I had a bug infestation which made me to dispose my furniture’s and mattresses and because it, I had to buy new ones(I usually buy my  furniture at thrift store too) My son is 12 years old but he is bigger than his age so i have to visit the thrift store every two weeks(he out grows them or rip them at the end). I have to change his mattress every two or three months(he rips the cover and brings out the form to play with).

It’s been tough I am not going to lie I barely have enough for grocery after paying my bills so I visit the food bank, sometimes I go to bed hungry just so my kids can have enough to eat and I am not complaining but I feel depressed knowing that my son can’t go for his therapy because i used part of it and that’s  why I am humbly requesting for your financial assistance. Right now I don’t even have a dining table (in one of his melt down, he destroyed my dinning chairs) so we  just sit on the couch to eat. I live in a two bedroom apartment(I have been on the waiting list for a subsidized apartment because my kids are a boy and girl, for 7 years now and still nothing, I do call from time to time.) and he has a room( that I am always cleaning) while I share a room with my daughter.

Kids will go back to school next month and these has been giving me sleepless nights Because most of he’s clothes wont fit (I have to visit the thrift store) Those simple things that people need for everyday living  is like luxury for me and my kids. I will forever be grateful if my son can continue his therapy.

Hello I need money to restart my life

I’m a 27-year-old man living in Belgium.
My life started with a lot of difficulties, partly because of what I think might have been undiagnosed ADHD — or something similar — that made me feel, all through my childhood, that I wasn’t “normal.”

I didn’t pay attention in class like other kids. The school noticed this and decided to place me, my two brothers, and my sister into a special aid school for children with learning difficulties. I stayed there for five years, and this reinforced my belief that something was “wrong” with me.

But one day, my mother began to question things. I had refused to go to school again, and after years of seeing the hate and judgment we faced, she started asking herself: Why are my kids in this kind of school? My parents didn’t really understand the Belgian school system, and they didn’t know they had the right to refuse this placement.

You have to understand — this school was designed for children with severe mental disabilities, like autism. I’m not autistic, but my older brother is. The problem was that the Flemish school system at that time was very strict, and because I didn’t speak Dutch well, I was placed in that school alongside my autistic brother. The authorities assumed that if my brother was autistic, then I, and my other siblings, must be too.

As a result, I spent five years in a school for severely disabled children simply because I didn’t speak Dutch well.

Eventually, I transferred to a regular middle school — but I had to work extremely hard to reach the same level as the other kids. The only skill I had at that point was speaking two languages at a young age. I managed to graduate to high school after two years, but those two years were hell. I survived by sheer determination, just trying to stay at 50% of the others’ level. I was still a stressed child, still believing I wasn’t enough.

In high school, I began to improve, but not enough. I also started working. But because of the trauma from my childhood, I struggled to organize myself and to find a clear path for my future. I neglected many important things, and eventually, I fell into a deep depression that lasted for a year. I had to pull myself out of it without outside help.

After that, I began a huge personal search to understand who I really am. My parents never supported me — financially or emotionally — so my brothers and I had to educate ourselves after adolescence. We learned through trial and error, through mistakes and small victories, and through the sheer will to not repeat the patterns we grew up in.

Now, I finally know who I am. I have even planned the next ten years of my life: I know which jobs I will take, what I need to buy, and the steps I must follow. I am disciplined, organized, and fully aware of where I’m heading. I speak five languages, and I’ve proved to the Flemish system — and to myself — that the labels they put on me as a child were wrong.

But in the process of finding myself, I had to self-finance my entire journey, spending €50,000 of my own money, because my parents never saved anything to help us. My mother suffers from psychotic depression, and my father drowns himself in beer, living in denial.

Even so, I will not give up. I know I am capable of doing enormous things, but I did not grow up in an environment where my talents and qualities could develop fully. I am simply asking for help to get out of debt so I can fulfill my purpose. I know for certain that if these debts are paid, I will never be in this position again. Even better — I know exactly where to invest, how to manage money, and how to create alternative income streams.

If you help me, it’s like adding €500 a month to my salary — and that would be life-changing for me. I promise you, I’m just a simple man asking for help online, not for drugs, not to steal from anyone, but simply to have my liberty back, with the intelligence and wisdom I didn’t have when I was younger. And I promise to give back that money, no matter what.

Help a broke gremlin upgrade her setup

Okay… so I’m going to swallow my pride and shamelessly toss this into the universe in hopes that some kind-hearted (and maybe a little chaotic) soul out there might help make my dream gaming/college setup a reality.

Here’s the situation… I’ve been running my entire digital life; gaming, schoolwork, streaming attempts, art, and just surviving the internet on a 13” 1080p Wacom One art tablet. Yes, you read that right. My current “monitor” is literally an art tablet, and while it’s been a trooper, the screen space is so tiny I’m basically editing essays and dodging bullets in games with the precision of a raccoon wearing oven mitts.

And then… I found The One.

A gorgeous 4K curved 27 inch, 165Hz gaming monitor. Crisp. Smooth. BIG. The kind of screen that makes you feel like your eyeballs are getting a spa day. The kind of upgrade that would turn my whole setup from “struggling student energy” to “okay, she’s got her life together”…  even if I’m still gaming in pajamas at 2am.

Problem? I am broke.

Like, “that monitor costs about $100 more than what’s currently in my bank account” broke. I’m working hard, but most of my paycheck goes to bills, school expenses, and making sure my boyfriend and I are covered if money gets tight. As much as I want to impulse buy this beauty, being financially responsible means I can’t.

So… here I am. Shamelessly asking:

If anyone out there has the means and generosity to help me snag this monitor, whether it’s through covering the whole thing or even just tossing a few bucks my way – I would be eternally grateful. Like, name my first legendary weapon after you grateful. 🥲

If you’ve ever wanted to be someone’s real life loot drop, this is your moment.

Thanks for reading, and may your own loot rolls be legendary. 💜

A Personal Plea – Urgent Help Needed for My Mother and Me

Hello, my name is Karen Surgeon.  This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. I’m 60 years old, and while I’ve faced many highs and lows in life, I never imagined I would be in this position—scared, overwhelmed, and in desperate need of help. Two years ago, my world turned upside down. I had just lost my son in a tragic and violent incident. Around the same time, my mother became widowed after losing her husband to cancer. I left everything behind in Boulder, Colorado, and returned to my hometown of Tucson, Arizona, to care for her full-time.  My mother is 84 years old and in very fragile health—she has a heart aneurysm, dangerously high blood pressure, and is only 4’3″ and 80 lbs. Over the 4th of July weekend, a terrifying incident occurred: two teens threw large rocks through her bedroom window at 3 AM. One rock missed her head by just two inches. The glass shattered all over her. The next day, still shaken, she fell and broke her ribs. She is now completely bedridden, and I care for her 24/7. Since coming back to Tucson, we’ve been through a storm of hardship. We initially moved into a relative’s home that turned out to be unsafe. We had to flee in the middle of the night and call the police over 15 times. We left with nothing. Eventually, I moved us into a small mobile home in a 55+ community—modest, but at least a roof over our heads. Rent and utilities are over $1,200 per month, and our savings have dwindled fast. Earlier this year, desperate to create a better future, I invested in what I believed was a legitimate online business opportunity. I made it clear to those I trusted that I had $10,000 to invest—no more. I asked for step-by-step guidance, explaining that I suffer from memory issues due to a traumatic brain injury years ago, and that I had limited computer skills. They promised full support and claimed it was “done for you.” But it was all misleading. As soon as I paid, the support disappeared. I was pushed to pay more, little by little. My savings drained, my credit plummeted, and I found myself deeper in crisis. Now, I’m falling behind on rent, utilities, car insurance—basic needs. I can’t even afford pet food.

To rent a new place- need £800

I’m reaching out in the hope that you might be able to help me during an incredibly challenging time in my life. Unfortunately, I’ve recently found myself in a difficult financial situation due to circumstances beyond my control.

I had been working full-time and was managing my finances well. However, I lost my job unexpectedly, and despite my best efforts to find new employment, I haven’t been successful so far. This loss of income has put a significant strain on my financial stability.

To make matters worse, I’ve received an eviction notice from my landlord. With my financial situation deteriorating, I’m struggling to find a new place to stay. I’m facing the very real possibility of becoming homeless if I don’t act quickly.

I’m reaching out to ask if you might be able to contribute any amount to help me get back on my feet. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a huge difference. Your support could help me cover some of the costs associated with finding a new place to live, such as deposits, rent, or other essential expenses.

I want to assure you that I’m doing everything in my power to resolve this situation. I’m actively job hunting and seeking support from local services to get back on my feet. Your contribution would be a significant boost to my efforts and would give me the hope and motivation I need to keep moving forward.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. Your kindness and generosity would mean the world to me during this difficult time. If you’re able to contribute, please know that every little bit counts, and I’m grateful for your support.

I’m confident that with your help, I’ll be able to get back on my feet and start rebuilding my life. Your support would be a vital lifeline, and I’m grateful for your consideration.

Lend a hand to support our boys left behind

My name is Janel, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart on behalf of Eli age 11, Elliott age 9, Edison age 5, who have recently suffered the unimaginable loss of their beloved father,Gaudencio Cardenas.

Gaudencio passed away unexpectedly on July24, leaving behind not only his 3 sons but also a family and community that loved him deeply. He was a devoted father, a hardworking man, and someone who always put his children first.

Now, in the midst of their grief, these boys are faced with the challenge of navigating life without their father’s love, guidance, and support. The emotional toll is immense—but so is the financial burden that follows such a tragic loss.

Why We’re Asking for Help

In addition to funeral expenses, the boys now face:

Immediate living expenses

School supplies and tuition

Counseling and mental health support

Long-term stability and basic needs

Your contribution will go directly toward helping these young boys stay safe, supported, and focused on their futures during this devastating time. Every dollar counts, and any amount you can give will make a lasting impact.

Single Mom, Full-Time Nursing Student, Caring for Two Boys and My Mom. Seeking a Hand Up, Not a Handout

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my story.

I never imagined I would be in a position where I’d be reaching out to strangers for help, but life has taken some unexpected turns and I’m doing my best to keep everything afloat.

I’m a single mother of two wonderful boys, both under the age of seven. We live with my 70-year-old mother, who is retired and living on a minimal retirement income. We still have a mortgage on our home, and the day-to-day bills are constant. I am the primary provider for my children and my mom. While their father is sometimes in the picture, the financial support we agreed on isn’t consistent, which leaves me scrambling to cover essentials.

On top of working full time, I’m also a full-time nursing student. I’m pursuing this degree because I want to create a better future for my boys… a future where they don’t have to worry about basic needs, and where I can give back to my community as a healthcare professional. I’ve been fortunate to receive scholarships that have eased some of the burden, but they don’t cover everything, and tuition and school expenses for both me and my older son still weigh heavily.

The financial stress has been building for a while. Between house expenses, utilities, groceries, my son’s and my school needs, and debt from student loans and credit cards, I feel like I’m running on empty both emotionally and financially. I’ve tried applying for loans, but my credit score still reflects poor decisions from years ago, even though I’ve been working hard to turn things around.

I want to be clear… I am not looking for a handout. I’m looking for a hand up to get through this rough patch and create stability for my family. I don’t have the time to take on extra work because my days are spent balancing my parenting, school and my job… sometimes I barely have time to sleep or eat. My goal is to raise $15,000–$20,000 to cover overdue bills, reduce debt, and pay for upcoming school expenses so I can focus on completing my nursing degree and building a more secure life for my children and my mom.

If you choose to help, please know that your donation… no matter how small… will directly impact our ability to keep moving forward. If you can’t give, I still deeply appreciate you reading my story and sending us your good thoughts.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering us.
